Windows 7 infinite loop when using Robocopy

Your report of all Junction Points shows the junction:

C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local directory

 

This junction creates a loop from the intersection of data Application goes back to AppData\Local which contains the output of Application data that...

This seems to be the loop that follows you Robocopy.  I think that Windows responds to the permissions defined for the junctions as a file search is not going in a loop with the standard permissions but ran in a loop when I changed the permissions for connecting Application data under my user while trying to find out what was going on in Windows 7 based on my knowledge of Window XP.  Without knowing the existence of junctions, I did not understand what were doing all of the apparent shortcuts.

I have fed up of my old Windows XP system and you can see why this junction is necessary.

For Windows 7, some of the application data AppData\Local.  For example, the Outlook.pst file is in AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.

For Windows XP, the .pst file is Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.

Local settings is now a crossroads AppData/Local for Outlook will search the .pst file in AppData\Local\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.  This requires Application data in to be a hub to AppData\Local AppData\Local where the Microsoft\Outlook file.

It's even worse than just an infinite loop.  I tried Robocopy files from one PC has crashed with the system drive in a USB enclosure and copy all the files on my drive (c).  The USB (f) contains the Documents and Settings junction point, but it points to C:\Users. So my attempt to copy F:\Documents and Settings resulted in C:\Users copy instead. Now the target of the copy on my C: drive - which is intended to contain all the content of the disk (f) crashed, now contains the content of my directory of users.

I guess I can't delete Documents and Settings everywhere (including a USB key containing another image of the system) without deleting my C:\Users directory as well.

How can I clean the misleading Documents and Settings points that have been created by the robocopy junction?

  • ShowWindow enter an infinite loop when you try to open a subfolder of a file system shell extension

    Hi all,

    I've implemented a file system shell extension. Everything works fine, but the next case: the user tries to open a subfolder of the extended file system (double clicking on its icon, for example), but an error is detected. When the ShowWindow is called to display the error message, the thread enters an infinite loop within the ShowWindow function.

    It seems that the shell access mode when double click to open a subfolder which prohibits the display of new windows.

    Have someone faced this situation? Can anyone give me a suggestion in order to investigate in the right direction?

    I thank very you much.

    Hello

    I discovered the reason for the behavior represented: I created the message window as a child of the display window. At the opening of the subfolder view window becomes disabled, which also affect the child window. Definition of the parent to NULL window I solved the problem.

  • DeskJet 5652 under Windows 7 - scalling useless when using autoduplexer

    Hello

    I am very disappointed about Windows 7 drivers for DeskJet 5652 printer. Drivers have some bugs:

    When I printed the document on both sides of the paper (with automatic duplex unit) printer do some page scalling (it increases the margins at the top and bottom of the page) - impression seems strange because all that the page is a bit shorter, also fonts like Times New Roman, Arial, etc looks like... strange, different because of this unnecessary scalling. It only happens when I use the auto duplexer.

    I tried to fix it myself. I tried to change the print processor in the settings of the printer of hpzppwn7 to winprint and got partial success - printer doesn't no matter what scalling (using the duplexer) but something else does not-number of copies. When I change the number of copies from 1 to i. e. 3 in the windows printer window and also in the advanced drivers tab - it does not print only one copy. This parameter is ignored in winprint.

    Please fix these problems, because this printer is useless in Windows 7... It is very unfortunate, it is not that old!

    You plan out an another Windows 7 drivers for this printer? Maybe some fix?

    Can you explain these three parameters: PrintableArea, PrintableOrigin, and CursorOrigin? What do these numbers mean?

    I think that the solution to my problem is in these numbers...

    What do you think?

    You have the possibility to compare these numbers with HP Windows XP drivers?

    I don't have access to the Windows XP driver settings, they are not as "readable" as Vista or Windows 7 gpd files.  The above figures are the page dimensions in units of 1/1200 ".  The top left of the page is (0,0).  In the example above the beginning of the printable area is 150 (83) or 0.125 "from left edge and 0.07" down from the top.  The lower edge of the printable area is the printable origin as well as the printable area.  "This ends (13269 + 83) / 1200 or 11,13", leaving a margin of 0.57 down "on A4 size paper.  Sounds a bit heavy, I think 0.46 "the bottom margin would be satisfactory.

    The printible origin is the upper-left corner of the area to print in portrait mode, it would be the top right of the page if printing landscape.

    If you want to "tweak" the DPG file I suggest to take a glance at the instructions to install the patch Vista Duplex printing here. Basically, you want to make a copy of the DPG file and make the necessary changes.  Then you will need to open an administrative command prompt, rename the original gpd file for backup and a copy of the new file.  You will need to stop the spooler, delete all the hp*.bud files, then restart the spooler.  This will cause the DPG file to read and bud files to regenerate.  The number you want to change would be the second number in the pair of the printable area.  You might try to increase the number of courses that move the margin from the bottom to the low 0.09 ", leaving a margin of 0.46 108 lower."  You can also experiment with other numbers, but at some point, you will hit the physical limit of the size of the paper.

  • Infinite loop of "Failure to configure Windows updates" Windows 8

    Hello

    Recently, I completely reset my laptop Windows 8. After reset, I installed all the updates (there were about 90) and restart as prompted. However, now the PC is stuck in an infinite loop trying to configure the updates, or configure them, then reboot and try again.

    Like I can't pass the configuration screens, I can not troubleshoot or do anything since the PC itself and it's very frustrating and I don't know what to do.

    Hello

    This problem might have occurred because of these reasons:

    1 external.

    2. bad Windows Update settings.

    A preliminary analysis shows some problems of Java:

    2 possible endless loop in the ScaledBlit routine on the thread main event: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8028539

    Question 2 currently has no resolution, but there are a few (a potential solution?) fix for jdk1.8.0_40 (8u40).  The latest official version is 8u11.

    Assuming that the number 2 is the culprit on Ubuntu, just like on Windows, then 1st edition probably does not concern us. Just for reference, a backport of the Java correction for the 1st edition exists on jdk 1.7 and 1.8, but has yet to be officially released on either.

  • Has managed to recover from the infinite loop restart Vista SP1 "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0%"- but Windows Update always wants me to install Vista SP1!

    WIndows Update asks me to install Vista SP1. I did and got into the infamous infinite loop of SP1 (infinite loop ' configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0% "with Vista SP1). I used F8 to repair my computer, and I chose a restore before the SP1 update point has been installed. The restore point has been applied successfully, so I have the computer in the back. Super.

    I just got a refurbished Compaq 7700. It has Windows XP for drives of the refurbished computers.

    but each project has a section of the image that are associated with him, and it has a button on the back specifically to main article of the project. But when you click on the back button now the main artcile, need you for article image, not back to where the person wud have wanted to be.

    I can't think of one work around other dating back to the use of specific page navto, but as the means to determine the access point that are not possible. Or double the articles entirely.
